Management MSc - Batch of 2024

Offered by University College London

2.3

Avoid studying in high ranked universities in places like London

Tips: Avoid coming to the United Kingdom or London, there is a housing and eco-crisis going on currently, opportunities are very limited. Go to places like the Netherlands or Germany instead. There are hardly opportunities for everyone. There is no global exposure also, UK is filled with Indians.

Dislikes (Value for money): Definitely not a value for money, professors arena like the Indians ones, everything needs to be done on our own! Engagement opportunities are minimal, it's just restricted to two floors. Lack of practical exposure and you still get tested based on examinations.

Economics MSc - Batch of 2017

Offered by University College London

4.3

Excellent master's programme, with a strong quantitative bent.

Tips: The programme is very intense and students spend at least 60-70 hours per week on the programme. It is an excellent programme that will benefit students for many years to come. Obtaining a scholarship can greatly help in managing expenses. Nevertheless, I find such a programme a good investment as it will benefit students in diverse career trajectories throughout their careers.

Classical BA - Batch of 2024

Offered by University College London

UCL – A world-class experience in the heart of London.

Tips: If you're looking for world-class education, unforgettable experiences, and career-ready skills, you've come to the right place. UCL is the launching pad for success in London. Beyond academics, extracurricular activities thrive here. There are more than 200 student societies, including the Afghan Society, AIESEC, and Amateur Boxing Club. With the variety of activities available here, there is something for everyone. Cultural fests, hackathons, and guest lectures keep campus life vibrant, so you will always have something to do outside of class.

Likes (Safety): UCL has strong industry ties, and its career support helps students land roles at top firms worldwide. In addition, the fact that the university is situated in London opens doors to a wealth of networking opportunities with startups, multinationals, and research institutions. In terms of facilities, the campus infrastructure is phenomenal, with top-notch offerings across the board. It's a place that makes the most of the space, from the historic Bloomsbury campus to the cutting-edge UCL East at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The libraries, labs, and collaborative workspaces provide an environment that encourages innovation, while the brand-new Marshgate building provides top-of-the-line labs for students in fields such as engineering and robotics.

Dislikes (Quality of faculty): Studying at University College London (UCL) has been an incredible journey! The faculty here is truly supportive. Professors are not just experts in their fields but also approachable mentors who encourage critical thinking and hands-on learning. Whether it's through office hours or interactive lectures, they make sure students grasp complex concepts with ease.

UCL demands academic rigor, fosters global opportunities, diverse culture, with high London costs.

Tips: Before joining UCL, students should know that UCL demands high academic rigour, a global reputation, and a diverse, international community. Located in central London, living costs are high, and independent learning is key. UCL also offers many extracurricular and career opportunities frequently and I advise the students to participate in it and try to build connections as it will significantly help for professional growth. Overall, I am satisfied with the course, university and the country.

Economics with a Placement Year BSc (Econ)
at
UCL
Highlights

This program combines a rigorous foundation in economic concepts and tools with an opportunity to apply for a year on placement, developing and applying those tools in a real-world context. The highly regarded department will support the students in their search for a placement. In the event they cannot secure a placement, they will be able to request to switch to the three-year Economics BSc (Econ), subject to meeting any progress requirements for that degree
The department's fundamental premise is that students should learn how to do economics themselves, rather than just learn how the academic staff or other economists do it. In the first year, students take compulsory modules on the core concepts of economics, applied economics, mathematics, and statistics, and have the opportunity to take optional modules
In each year of their degree, students will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from program to program and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS)
